In ihrer wissenschaftlichen Studie zeigen die Autoren, dass Verhandlungen die geeignetste, wirksamste und auch ökonomisch effizienteste Methode zur Beilegung von Rechtsstreitigkeiten sind. In der (kontinental-)europäischen Rechtspraxis wird diese Strategie aber immer noch nicht in ausreichendem Maße angewandt. Was sind die Gründe hierfür? Ist es die Gewohnheit der europäischen Juristen, Standardmethoden zu verwenden, die Angst vor schwer vorhersehbaren Resultaten – oder vielleicht einfach fehlende Verhandlungskompetenz? Und wenn man sich für juristische Verhandlungen entscheidet, wie sollte man dann verhandeln?Die Kernthese der Untersuchung lautet, dass es drei Verhandlungsmodelle gibt (das argumentative, das topisch-rhetorische und das ökonomische Modell), die miteinander verknüpft werden müssen, um eine adäquate Gesamtdarstellung des juristischen Verhandelns zu erzielen.Die Autoren lehren Rechtsphilosophie, Rechtstheorie und Rechtsethik an der Jagiellonen-Universität in Krakau

Methods of Legal Reasoning describes and criticizes four methods used in legal practice, legal dogmatics and legal theory: logic, analysis, argumentation and hermeneutics. The book takes the unusual approach of discussing in a single study four different, sometimes competing concepts of legal method. Sketched this way, the panorama allows the reader to reflect deeply on questions concerning the methodological conditioning of legal science and the existence of a unique, specific legal method.

Monetary union accession generates benefits and costs for the entering countries. According to the seminal paper by Mundell (1961), the possible costs are usually associated with the asymmetric shocks that might take place. Under the currency union regime, these asymmetric shocks can be no longer neutralized by the countryspecific monetary policy tools, hence the flexibility of the economy is desirable.In this article, we employ the measure of business cycles correlation proposed by Artis and Zhang (1995) as well as labor market statistics to examine how easy the economies of Lithuania and Poland can adjust to asymmetric shocks in comparison to some other EU countries. Discussing the empirical results, we propose recommendations for economic policy that might help to fulfil the conditions of the Optimum Currency Area.
